Half Cut Brewing comes from longtime Picaroons employee Matt Corey, who says that he will be using the project to “create various styles of beer based on how I interpret the style they belong to.”

The first release from Half Cut is Alter Ego, which Corey describes as “an interpretation of a Dusseldorf Altbier, a malty German ale that offers a generous amount of hop bitterness with a mild fruity nose.”

Half Cut Alter Ego is on tap now at the Brewtique for samples and growler fills while supplies last.
